The above is a copy of the U.S. 1899 population census schedule. Over the years responses to the whereabouts of this census have been that it was lost. Recently, it has been rumored around the genealogical community that a copy does exist. In the event that one does, the following is what was asked in that census. There were 20 question fields. The first two fields were "Street" and "Number of House". The succeeding questions were numbered 1 - 18 and they were:

Number of house or building in order of visitation

Number of family in the order of visitation

Name of every person residing with this family or in this house

Relationship of each person to the head of the family

Color

Sex

Age at last birthday

Status

Native country of this person

Cuban, Spaniard or in suspense.*

Occupation, trade or profession of every person 10 years of age and over
